International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration

The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) is a long-standing foundational initiative that operates between DDBJ, EMBL-EBI and NCBI. INSDC covers the spectrum of data raw reads, though alignments and assemblies to functional annotation, enriched with contextual information relating to samples and experimental configurations.

The INSDC advisory board, the International Advisory Committee, is made up of members of each of the databases' advisory bodies. The International Advisory Committee published a paper reiterating the importance of depositing data to INSDC.

Individuals submitting data to the international sequence databases should be aware of INSDC policy.
